"Rock Age": A memorial song that looks like rock

The film took 1987 as the starting point, but in fact it was the late age of rock and roll. Since the United States experienced an easy baby boom after World War II, the famous "Beat Generation" has been born. They are undressed and like fancy clothes, abandon work and study, refuse to take on social responsibilities, despise all established laws, tirelessly seek fresh excitement all day long, and take indulgence and drug use as the greatest value in life. Rock and roll has become the biggest breakthrough for spiritual venting, and it has been imitated by the attention of the public, and has even become a symbol of rebellion. After listening to rock for a few years during my school days and obsessed with "Music Paradise", I came up with an experience that most people who sing rock and roll are mentally unhealthy and will die until they heard about Curt of Nirvana. After Cobain committed suicide by swallowing a gun in his garage in 1994, his enthusiasm for rock gradually dissipated.

Going back to the film, there is not much interpretation of rock and roll, and it is not even as profound and complicated as the Korean drama "Rock and Roll Seventies". It is just a musical with rock and roll as a gimmick. The half-naked brother Tom, the overwhelming nostalgic tracks, coupled with the popular feces and fart segments, combine to create countless passionate songs, but the story is choreographed and unscrupulous. There are also two disappointments. I thought that Brother Atang was the biggest challenger, but found that the Mexican boy Diego Bonetta was the protagonist. I thought that the British madman Russell Brand could also sing two songs, but in the end he just wore a Japanese flag monkey and played for a long time without giving a chance to sing. Only Paul Giamatti's small head is still a bit styled.

The film is directed by Adam Shankman, the director of the "Dancing Out of My Life" series. It is needless to say that all kinds of dances are spent, but a few popular genres that are mixed from time to time make people do not know the so-called, repeatedly mentioning "rock is not dead" The lines are quite ironic. All kinds of show dances are even more vulgar and vulgar. Although rock is not so high in my mind, there is not much good impression, and it is not so low and low in the film. At the very least, rock is a symbol of individuality and unconventionalism, and the film completely links rock and sex with sex, highlighting the licentious side. Is it possible that the director is with the wife of the politician, and the real goal is to bring down rock and roll?
